“Music with a groove†writes Vancouver electronic music producer, Ian Bevis, on the genre explanation of his one-man band titled Bear Mountain. Ian has been progressively experimenting within a variety of genres since 2009 and is now grasping the attention of a new audience with a recent release. While going through Bear Mountain’s discography, I was surprised to see his past production of acoustic music as it seems he began as a singer and guitar player. From acoustic, he switched Bear Mountain’s direction to jumpy electro sampling and quick synth-injected tracks. But what got my attention was the recently release of a preview for his first full-length studio album, which is due out this summer on Distorted Disco Records. The album preview is the track “Swim†which now shows Ian experimenting with soulful vocal samples and groovy electro rhythms. I see it as a blend of his past banjo style and electro pop productions – curiously creative music producing that is setting an acquired stance for Bear Mountain.
